Trivial Trivia-Umpire's Edition

OK gang, the idea is simple. A question will be asked, relating to umpires, and there will be a 24 hour window to correctly answer the question. If the question is answered correctly, the poster who answered the question will have the right to ask the next question. If however, the question is answered incorrectly, or the poster answers his own question, then the right to ask the next question will remain with the OP.

Confused yet???

OK I'll start. In game three of the 1975 World Series between the BoSox and the Big Red Machine, Ed Armbrister laid a sac bunt and collided with Reds catcher Carlton Fisk who made an error on the throw that cost the Reds game three. The HP umpire ruled the contact incidental, so no interference was applied. Who was that HP umpire?

WRONG!!!! Larry Barnett.

OK next question-
Which AL umpire, known for his flamboyancy, was also a mortal enemy of Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver?

This same umpire booted Weaver out of both ends of a double dip.

Ok,

Who was the plate umpire the night that Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's Career Home Run record? . . . I will accept only the correct answer.

I'll try one more time:

Would that be Doug Harvey?

(If I bomb, you can give the answer, then the right to ask the next question is your, Tim)

Hmm,

I asked this question for two reasons:

1) A famous deceased umpire's obit say he worked the plate. He did not, he worked second base that tnight.

2) I wanted to see who would goggle the answer. No one has ever called Mr. Davidson "David" -- he was known as "Satch" from the days of being a little boy.

Regards,

The box score I found lists him as Satch.

My man, Billy Buckner, was playing first base for the Dodgers.
